WebMD says it takes six to nine months recovery time for an ACL tear. He got hurt against BCU on October 20.
Nine months would put his return near the middle of July. Camp usually starts the last weekend in July.

Ready for camp... I believe it, and will be glad to see it.
Will be 100%? Likely not until 2020. And that's OK. An 85% Mac is better than a whole lot of CBs in FCS.

Camp usually starts the last weekend in July. He just had surgery last month. A&T has always been bad about scheduling surgeries as soon as possible.

Camp usually starts the last weekend in July. I wouldn't advise him to push his rehab to make it into camp by the end of July/start of August. I wouldn't anticipate to see him play until Homecoming.

I don't wanna see Mac until at least October. If Mac misses the entire first month of the season, including the Duke and Elon games, wouldn't it make more sense just to take a medical redshirt? I would hate for him to only play a handful of games in 2019 ... and then only have one year of eligibility left in 2020.

It would require a special waiver for 6 years. Remember there is a clock that starts once you enter college and its a 5 year window only.

I think the NCAA has been pretty lenient on medical redshirts in recent years, especially if you miss the entire season.
Kylil Carter was able to get one and I believe Isaiah Hicklin is currently trying to get a year back.

Kylil Carter was able to get one and I believe Isaiah Hicklin is currently trying to get a year back. The difference is those guys didn't take a freshman redshirt, so they're operating on the 4-in-5 principle. The other question that has to be raised... does Mac want to stay in college for 6 years? I doubt it. If Mac can play for half of 2019 and be fully healthy for 2020 heading into the 2021 NFL Draft cycle, then that's the best thing for Mac... even if it's not the most advantageous thing for A&T in 2019. I want Mac to do what's best for Mac. He's more than earned that right.

Man that rehab is brutal. I don't think his dad and mom will let him come back until he's ready.

Yes it is brutal (had two Rt & Lt) Mac's return is not up to Mac it's up to his rehab staff and the surgeon that repaired his knee . This is not the NFL , he is making Millions . So there is no reason for him to Rush his recovery ( within reason ).
